Right now Balmung is still locked, but when the expansion comes out there is going to be a surge of people coming back to the game already on the servers being moved that aren't being counted in the "active player" graphs being shared right now so they are trying to mitigate the "no instances" spamming NPC nonsense that even happened again for a little while for the Omega story instance when the player base is missing a lot of active characters from the SB peak.

So they waited about 2 years to see if the player base would fix it themselves and I guess it's not satisfactory.
SE is to blame for that because of the housing system -.-
